Doh!  Ok.  I guess I got overly focused on *one* way to get the font names.
*Obviously* I am not a font expert.  At least on Win98, many fonts are
simply located in C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.  Maybe there are other locations for
some programs.

So two platforms would offer simple solutions.

Thanks for saving me from myself.
